http://beerforthedaddy.wordpress.com/2013/08/02/halfway-there-the-details/ We’ve been talking about it, and now we have the information that everyone wants. The two big questions I have heard are “how can I get tickets?” and “what beers are going to be there?” Now, I can reveal both: All of the beers on tap will be specialty kegs, one-offs or event exclusive beers from your favorite breweries. Tickets will be released at various locations in the Tampa Bay Area in waves over the Tampa Bay area. This event will be held at the Cuban Club in Ybor City.

I have no doubt this event will sell out. These are beers you may never get to try again. So don’t wait until the last minute! Cheers!
Damn this would be nice but with the last couple weekends of beer releases (it all really started with the BA Huna release) I think I have spent more on beer than food. Time for a break (hopefully).
I remember reading about this, and that its supposed to take place in September. But I can't find the actual date of the event anywhere.
What an odd piece of information to leave out... Saturday, September 7th is what I have written down.
That's about what I remember. Also curious, cash only for ticket sales? Damn, I'm full of questions this morning-I'm putting off home repairs.
I don't really know, but I haven't seen any indication of cash-only on any of the posts about ticket release locations so I wouldn't think so.
